I had the pleasure of working with photographer <a href="http://stephenkentjohnson.com/">Stephen Johnson</a> on a shoot for <a href="http://www.housebeautiful.com/">House Beautiful</a> a few weeks ago. He was not only an ace at bringing the spaces to life and but also kept us all entertained with his fabulous sense of humor. Here is snapshot of some of his amazing work.<br />

<div>
I recently went to Charleston to meet with <a href="http://www.urbanelectricco.com/">The Urban Electric Co</a>. I am designing a custom fixture with them for a new project. I had the pleasure of touring their facilities and taking a sneak peak at the new fixtures they are producing. I have been using their products for many years and was truly amazed to see their operation in action. Everything from the design & engineering to the production & finishing is all done under one roof. They can customize their fixtures by having all of these teams working in such close proximity. I was able to review the engineering of my fixture with one team and then watch as the finish team made up samples for me right there on the spot.</div>

<span style="text-align: left;">I also had the opportunity to sample some low country cuisine. The Ordinary, Leon's Oyster Shop, and Butcher and Bee were definitely highlights. The rum inspired cocktail list at The Ordinary was worth the trip. The special rum drink the bartender made was a hit and perfect with oysters.</span></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 and 1/2 ounce Flor De Cana rum (12 year)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 ounce Sherry Olorusso</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 ounce lemon juice</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/2 ounce simple syrup</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mix all ingredients in a shaker. Add ice and shake. Strain into coupe and serve with a lemon twist.</div>

Leon's Oyster Shop is also must destination. The restaurant is located in an old gas station on King Street. The hush puppies and were phenomenal. Make sure to save room for the soft-serve vanilla ice cream.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have had a long standing affinity for India, but Sri Lanka may have taken it's place as my favorite destination in the region. I just returned home from a fabulous trip to Sri Lanka. The country has incredible biodiversity and charm. I was able to visit many regions, cities, and villages in this island nation formerly called Ceylon. Each of them had their own personality and special flair. </div>

Amangalla- Galle</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Galle is a port city developed during the Portuguese and Dutch colonial periods. It is still owned by the Dutch government which maintains the architectural integrity of the original buildings. I stayed at Amangalla, pictured below. It is located in the Galle fort, a world heritage site and the largest remaining fortress in Asia built by European occupiers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The furniture at the hotel was the perfect combination of European colonial antiques and new reproductions. I had the opportunity to tour the workshop where the pieces were fabricated and met the gracious owner, Deeven Beruwalage. His fabrication technique utilizes hundred year old reclaimed wood so there is no splitting as the pieces age.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Tangalle is a town located in the Southern Province. I stayed at the seaside resort of Amanwella. Built by acclaimed Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa, the hotel juxtapostes sleak contemporary structures with the natural beauty of its surroundings. From here you can easy visit the buddhist Mulkirigala Rock Monastery and the wild elephants in Udawalawe National Park.</div>

Ceylon Tea Trails- Hatton</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Located 4,000 above sea level, Ceylon Tea Trails was the hardest destination to reach but one of the most picturesque. The hotel consists of 4 beautifully restored bungalows originally built for British tea managers during the Raj. The bungalow where I stayed was surrounded by lovely walking trails through the tea plantations. The views along the trails at dawn were breathtaking.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When <a href="http://www.deringhall.com/">Dering Hall</a> asked me to design a room based on a favorite movie for their <a href="http://www.deringhall.com/wired-and-inspired/upcoming">Wired + Inspired</a> digital showhouse, <i>The Darjeeling Limited</i> immediately came to mind. I knew it would be fun to play off of the India train car setting, using Wes Anderson's meticulously selected color palette. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I panelled the wainscot in a cognac color leather with brass strapping. The walls are upholstered in a blue and white chevron fabric, which is a pattern I saw often when I was in Udaipur (one of the locations for the movie.) I selected a campaign desk because it was indicative of train car travel with a saffron colored desk chair to tie back to the hotel robe warn in the movie. The rug is an Indian antique and the taxidermy hen in the glass case is a nod to Wes Anderson's quirky sensibility.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When Boston Home Magazine asked to me put together a palette for a powder room for their Fall 2015 issue, I was inspired by the tones in my summer garden. I selected a combination of greens ranging from emerald to teal paired with warm gold fittings and fixtures. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I recently had the pleasure of spending the week at Cap Rocat in Mallorca. Set in a reconstructed 19th-century fortress overlooking the magnificent Bay of Palma, the hotel strikes the perfect balance of understated elegance. Spanish architect Antonio Obrador, the mastermind behind the project, was faced with stringent restrictions because the building was listed as a Cultural Heritage Site and Protected Natural Area. Although this may have created a few design dilemmas, I think it ultimately helped in creating a truly authentic experience. </div>

I recently discovered DLV, a furniture company based out of Red Hook, Brooklyn. Originally their Zephyr towel bar, based on designs found on vintage ocean liners, caught my eye. However, after looking into the company further I discovered they also have exquisitely crafted furniture pieces. They offer a unique assortment of finishes, such as Coquille d'oeuf (eggshell), Verre Eglomise, polished piano lacquer, hand-rubbed oils, plates and patinas.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I recently returned from a fabulous trip to the <a href="http://www.roundhill.com/default-en.html">Round Hill</a> Hotel in Jamaica. This former sugar and coconut plantation opened in 1953 as a complex of luxury cottages, hosting celebrities like the Kennedy's and Paul Newman. The modern day rooms were designed by Ralph Lauren but they still retained all of their original classic charm. They each have four poster beds, large soaking tubs and spectacular water views. The British influence can still be felt in the high tea that was served every day. The scones and rum balls were a divine way to cap off the afternoon.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This weekend marks the opening of Bar Luce, in the new art and culture complex Fondazione Prada in Milan. It is my favorite director Wes Anderson's first permanent interior project. Staying true to his signature style the cafe features color block Formica tables, whimsical wallpaper, a graphic water closet and Steve Zissou themed pinball machines. Of course the fonts used through out the cafe are perfectly on point as well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When describing the design Anderson was quoted as saying," While I do think it would make a pretty good movie set I think it would be an even better place to write a movie. I tried to make a bar I would want to spend my own non-fictional afternoons in."</div>

The Rug Company does a wonderful job merging fashion and interiors by establishing interesting collaborations. In their latest pairing Laura and Kate Mulleavy, the designers behind Rodarte, played around with their love of 3-D textures. Echoing some of their clothings most memorable patterns they pulled motifs from ivy, marble and porcelain to create a collection full of whimsy.</div>

Even since John Dickinson made plaster furniture chic in the 60's, the material has been adored for its chalky white texture and sculptability. Brooklyn artist <a href="http://www.stephenantonson.com/">Stephen Antonson</a> paints plaster onto his designs in layers with a brush, then sculpts and sands it to achieve these beautiful objects. Each piece is made by hand and is truely a work of art.<br />

I'm looking forward to checking out Sean MacPherson's new property The Ludlow Hotel in NYC. The lobby featured parged brick walls, exposed beams, Brutalist light fixtures and vintage SeDede Non-Stop sofas. They did a nice job at capturing the gritty urban vibe of the hotel's Lower East Side neighborhood while still remaining sophisticated. 180 Ludlow Street, NYC</div>

<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">We had the tremendous pleasure of working with Nina on the design of our Beacon Hill space last year. She is wonderful to work with -- creative, collaborative, and flexible. And in our opinion, Nina is as stylish as she is talented. Curious to know how she spends her holiday season we asked her to sit down and chat with us about her family's traditions, decorating her home for the season, and gift-giving.</span></div>

<strong>What traditions do you and your family have around the holidays? </strong>“I didn’t grow up celebrating Christmas, but I do now with Michael and the kids. Over the years we have established a lot of traditions that I cherish. We take the kids to the Nutcracker at the Boston Opera House every year, usually in December to get us in the spirit of the season. And, of course, we skate on Frog Pond in the Boston Common. The kids love that.</div>

We also have a tradition of taking a weekend trip to New York City in December. We see a show, ice skate at Rockefeller, and visit the windows at Barney’s and Bergdorfs. Every year they have a new theme. They are always so creative and inspiring!"</div>

<strong>Do you decorate your home in a special way this time of year? </strong>“After Thanksgiving, we put up white lights in our garden in back of our house. They’re so pretty that we leave them up all winter long. While I don’t do a lot inside the house, we do have a tree, which we decorate together. Michael makes a special holiday cocktail [Bourbon T' Sour last year - see the recipe below] — the kids get a virgin version — and we play music and decorate. It’s a lot of fun.”</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Located on Rue du Bac in the left bank, Deyrolle has been the go to taxidermy and entomology shop since 1831. I was lucky to hit the store right after Fashion Week when they were showcasing their collaboration with Damien Hirst. He assembled a cabinet of curiosities titled "Signification (Hope, Immortality and Death in Paris, Now and Then)." He mixed butterflies and skulls with handmade objects to study themes of the organic versus the inanimate. Since the stores inception, artists such as Salvador Dali, have used Deyrolle for inspiration for their art. Hirst wanted "to raise science to an art" because "art is artistic but evolution is too." 46 Rue de Bac</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Astier de Villate is one of my favorite sources for dinnerware. Their shop on Saint-Honoré is the perfect venue to showcase their hand made pottery. Inspired by 18th and 19th century designs each piece is made out of black terracotta clay and typically painted in a glossy white glaze. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Keramion gallery was a standout in the Saint-Ouen flea market because of its rare treasures. They are located in the Serpette market and are solely dedicated to classical archeology. Specializing in antique ceramics the gallery offers primarily Greek, but also Etruscan and Roman artifacts, marble sculptures and curiosities. 110 rue de Rosiers</div>

Hidden away in the center of Paris is the restaurant Apicius. I had the pleasure of dining there with my French neighbors from Beacon Hill. Everything from the service to the food was exceptional. It is set in a 19th century private mansion on the ground floor of the former Hotel de Talhouet-Roy, complete with a decadent interior and fabulous works of art. 20 rue D'Artois</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I just got back from a wonderful trip to Paris, during which I had the pleasure of visiting the <i>AD </i>Intérieurs show house at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs. The show featured spaces created by 16 French interior designers. The guidelines were that the concept be centered around a little-seen piece from the museum's collection. The resulting spaces not only incorporated the museum's selections seemlessly but were works of art unto themselves. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I recently discovered Max ID NY, a quirky shop in Sag Harbor, selling an eclectic mix of both antiques and modern sculptural pieces. It is a family run business, with the father overseeing the antiques and art and the son designing the new stark contrasting pieces. The store is located in a house which is set up as a pseudo second home for the family. Vertually everything is for sale from the stacks of books in front of the fireplace to the 19th century pillars and panelling bought on a European shopping trip. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hotelier Andre Balaz's first foray abroad, the Chiltern Firehouse, is currently the hottest reservation in London. Located in a 1889 Neo Gothic former firehouse in Marylebone, the restaurant features original tile floors, exposed brick walls and a woven canvas ceiling meant to be a nod to the hoses original stored there. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The guest rooms were designed by the French firm Studio KO. The design duo has a talent at striking the right balance between finding the cultural roots of a project and keeping it feeling modern. I had the pleasure of staying at another one of their projects, L'heure Bleue in Essaouira, Morocco, and thought the design was both authentic and sophisticated.</div>

Last week I had the pleasure of working with esteemed photographer <a href="http://www.ericpiasecki.com/">Eric Piasecki</a> on a photo shoot for House Beautiful magazine. Eric regularly contributes to the top shelter magazines and has shot monographs for designers Steven Gambrel, Thom Filicia, Juan Montoya and Timothy Corrigan. He has a phenomenal eye for light and composition. Here is a small sampling of his work.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I just returned from Tulum, Mexico. I stayed at the wonderful six bedroom <a href="http://www.coquicoquiperfumes.com/">Coqui Coqui</a> hotel. The beachfront property is part hotel and part perfumery. The hotel is right on the beach and the vibe was perfect. The lack of air conditioning, modern amenities, and the salt water stone bath added to the charm. The views of the Caribbean water could not be beat. I would recommend highly it for a relaxing weekend getaway. </div>

HARTWOOD<br />
<br />
Tulum's restaurants were highly touted prior to the trip and they did not disappoint. Hartwood was one of my favorites. The food was outstanding and the cocktail list was superb. The Pina Habanero Margarita was a highlight. Infused tequila, fresh pineapple, and cointreau was the perfect beginning to the meal. I also enjoyed El Tabano and Casa Jaguar. </div>
